Southwest Michigan Feeling Benefits Of New Four Winds Casino

A new casino in an area usually leads to a sort of rejuvenation. Everybody is excited about something new to do in the area, and the electricity that a casino brings just permeates throughout the area.

That is the feeling that a town in Southwest Michigan is feeling as of late. Last summer, the Four Winds Casino Resort was opened in New Buffalo, Michigan. The returns have been tremendous for the town so far.

Tourism has gone through the roof in the town since the casino opened its doors. Local businesses are thriving thanks to the traffic of travelers that come to the casino. The area around the casino is also being built up quite nicely.

Restaurants have been built, and various shops and boutiques have also opened around the casino. A twenty four hour day care is in the works for employees of the casino. The casino has also created many jobs for the local residents.

"It gives people more options at the gateway of Michigan to enjoy themselves even more when they come to the New Buffalo area," said Jerry Welsh. he has been a beneficiary of the new casino, he owns Garden Grove Bed and Breakfast close by in Union Pier.

The response to Four Winds in less than a year has owners already speaking of expansion. They will be looking into more parking, hotel space, and food option expansion in the near future.
